Project 6 - Surrealism and Photomontage
For this project, we used our own photos in Photoshop to create a photomontage. I experimented by adding several editing layers to the picture and cutting out different aspects from several pictures and placing them on the background. I also added a texture downloaded from the internet, and worked with manipulating it to go better with the content in the montage.
